The Governing Body

School governors are people who want to make a positive contribution to children's education. Governors are one of the largest volunteer forces in the country and have an important part to play in raising school standards. The role of the governing board is absolutely key to the effectiveness of a school.

At Four Oaks Primary School, we have a very active and supportive governing body. All our Governors serve for a 4 year period and many join us for longer through re-election. A Headteacher is a permanent appointment to the Governing Body.
